Alaynna - Salem, OR Senior Photographer

Alaynna is one of those people that photographs beautifully. As soon as I started taking her pictures I knew she could rock the camera. I love it when that happens! Not only was she photogenic, but her and her mom were loads of fun to spend the afternoon with, making my job less of a job and more like a hobby!

We found some great spots around Vitae Springs Vineyard, and in someone's yard (hehe).
Take a look for yourself.

Carli - Salem, OR Maternity Photographer

Let's start this off with a little pitch for bycarli. Carli, my oldest sister is wildly creative, perfectly domestic, and quite pretty. Oh, and she makes amazing hand-crafted items for baby, mommy, and home. Me and Megan of Red Pearl Designs have been assisting her in starting her business, and I'm pretty excited about the amazingly cute products she's creating. You'll have to keep tabs on her blog to see her new business unveil.

When I called asking to do some test shots of Carli she agreed and It's been over a month since I took these. We met at Vitae Springs Vineyard, borrowed Megan's clothes, and had a grand ole' time. Her oldest, my nephew Isaiah who's 5 came along, was quite a pill, but we pushed through.

ENJOY!

Matt & Beth Tibbs - Salem, OR Maternity Photographer

To all who've noticed a month go by without a post, your wait is over. I've been booking so many sessions it's like a bunch of Oregonians starving for their brief glimpse at sunshine!

This is a particularly fun post for me because of how much I enjoyed this session. Matt emailed me a while back informing me that he had convinced his wife Beth to have maternity photos taken of her first pregnancy. By now they've had Lucas, despite his being two weeks overdue! Bless that women!

But getting back to the shoot. Ryan and & met them out at Vitae Springs Vineyard and spent the next two hours getting to know these two and capturing the sweet love and care they have for one another.

I shot this in the midst of one of the most chaotic weekends of my life, and it was a much needed breath of fresh air.

Meet Matt & Beth Tibbs, new fresh new parents. II'm actually doing newborn photos of Lucas, and can't wait to meet the little guy. If he's anything like his parents, he'll be a ton of fun and really easy going!



























Aren't they just grand?!
